Banjo virtuoso Jeff Scroggins is returning to the Hillsboro Community Center with Mark & Ruth Bennett, Steve Smith, plus Kathy Reed & Mackie Redd, for an afternoon of high-energy, masterful bluegrass entertainment. Jeff has won the prestigious National Bluegrass Banjo Championship, and dozens of state, regional and local banjo contests. On tour, Jeff has traveled from Berlin to Borneo performing and teaching, and is renowned for his lightning-fast licks, and original “traditional” bluegrass compositions.

Joining Jeff are his close friends from Kingston, NM, Mark and Ruth Bennett, plus Las Cruces legend Steve Smith on mandolin, Kathy Reed on bass, and singer-songwriter Mackie Redd. The Bennetts perform and harmonize on a wide range of classic country, folk and upbeat original songs.

Concerts at the HCC are supported by the community, and sponsored by the Sierra County Arts Council (SCAC). For a schedule of upcoming events at the HCC, see www.blackrange3.org
